Football Bet of the Day: Let's do it right, AJA

No matter how tightly they pack the defence, Auxerre just can't stop conceding away from home

"The only restraint on a proper promotion push has been leaky defence: Pablo Correa's boys have conceded in 21/24 on home turf"

Back 'Yes' in Both Teams to Score? @ 2.285/4 in Nancy v Auxerre

The Thistles will flower in eastern France today, says Tobias Gourlay, but they might also be uprooted

Nancy v Auxerre
Monday 19:30
(Live on Betfair Live)

It's ninth versus eighth in the French second tier tonight and we see no finer way to start the week.

Hosts Nancy have scored more Ligue 2 goals this season than anyone except top-of-the-table Troyes. Quite a few of them came in one 6-0 win over bottom-of-the-table Chateauroux recently, but - dipping back into the end of last season - the Thistles have scored at least once in 17/19 at the Stade Marcel Picot.

The only restraint on a proper promotion push has been leaky defence: Pablo Correa's boys have conceded in 21/24 on home turf.

Jean-Luc Vannuchi's Auxerre won their last away game 4-2 and are unbeaten in 12 on their travels. AJA have, however, seen goals at both ends in 7/8.

We'd go all out for Over 2.5 Goals at a very big price, but there are just enough 1-1 draws in the teams' records (four in 14 for them both) for us to want it covered.
